This document is a Lead Work Requirements specification for conservation and restoration projects at the U.S. Capitol involving disturbance or removal of lead or lead-based paint.

The Conservator shall implement protective measures for building occupants, establish procedures for collecting and storing all lead-contaminated waste (paint chips, architectural materials, debris, rags, containers, equipment, and contaminated clothing), and ensure staff use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. All workers must provide training certificates demonstrating compliance with OSHA standards and EPA lead-safe practice requirements. A designated on-site Competent Person must supervise all work within the Lead Control Area. The Conservator must submit Safety Data Sheets for all products to the Superintendent Safety Office, using the least toxic suitable products acceptable to the Architect of the Capitol. Notification to three Capitol Building offices—the Point of Contact, Safety Office, and Insulation Office—must occur fifteen business days before project start.
